In the early 90s, Philippe Martina young film producer, regularly attends the Châtelet theater. He then discovered opera and understood what the success of the shows owed to Stéphane Lissnerthe director of the Châtelet, who is driven by an ambition and a sense of modernity that is quite unique in the world of opera.
Three decades later, Philippe Martin retraces his exceptional career with Stéphane Lissner, since after the Châtelet, Stéphane Lissner directed the Aix en Provence festival, La Scala in Milan, the Opera, the San Carlo in Naples, but also the Bouffes du .
This book is an opportunity to explore the performing arts of the last forty years: Daniel Baremboim, Pierre Boulez, Peter Brook, Luc , Patrice Chéreau, Pina Baush, Klaus-Mikaël Gruber, Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker, Claude Régy and many other artists are mentioned in these pages, but also lesser-known personalities without whom the history of contemporary opera would not be quite the same.
